Newfields Elementary School first grade students Garen Steiner and Isabelle Steiner stand in front of their autumn school garden, now protected with row covers. The students and staff planted their garden in September and will harvest vegetables through Thanksgiving because of the row covers’ cold protection. The Walmart 4-H Healthy Living Grant funded the purchase of the garden materials. UNH Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners have been supporting the staff and students with the garden project. For more information on starting a school garden, contact the UNH Cooperative Extension Rockingham office in Brentwood at (603) 679-5616.
